Gof-end of season?
The Belgian is looking for a second wind in this last part of the year and we know that he can play well in China so why not?
Goffin disappointing but that's normal since he was getting back into the rhythm, it's a copy/paste of his start to the year where he clearly lacked legs before finding his tennis a little. There he beat an even worse Halys than him at the US Open then he held a set against Musetti before getting destroyed the rest of the match. There are some small bits of matches quite decent but he can't keep it up over time. No Davis Cup for him which means a little time with his family then training, it's a big positive point and with his small and agile size he won't suffer too much from the conditions there, I'm quite optimistic to see him play some good matches in Asia. For the rest I want to say that Vukic is much better than him in terms of level but is that fundamentally the case? Over the whole year yes but I really don't like the Australian's form. He just participated in the Davis Cup in Australia and he lost against Collignon which was a sign of defeat for them, tough. He must have had a good trip and gave a lot mentally there, he doesn't arrive in the best condition. I remember their two confrontations well too, the first at the beginning of the year when Goffin was out of form then the second where the Belgian started badly then he was clearly better with good match management, he is not too bad in the match up because he covers his court well and when he makes the game it is annoying for Vukic
